I have always been a defender of VOOM; however, as of lately, I can't defend them any longer. I agree that the cutback in programming makes most of the channels unappealing, even with repeats. Now the repeats are more noticeable. It will be interesting to see where VOOM is placed in the new HD pricing that E* will soon announce. I hope they give us an option to get VOOM or not and not force it in a basic package and charge us more for those national channels that we currently get today. If that is the case, it will make my decision to switch HD providers a simpler one. In the numbers count, VOOM matters to E*. In the progamming count, VOOM has lost it's VaVOOM.
